Still good for a host town and damaged wagons on the trail. Unfortunate though
I meant ghost town
Yes, I suppose that is one use for them.
Thanks for reading.

I must speak with two words but most of the time my Airfix figures of my childhood are still in good shape. Broken figures I find most of the time in purchases I've done second hand.
But it is sad to see what happend with these figures. I feel sorry for you Mike.
Greetings

It's a shame. And Airfix were supposed to be "higher end" than the old Helen of Toy/Giant from Hong Kong soldiers; yet all of them (those that I didn't lose, run over with a lawnmower, got sucked up by the vacuum, or chewed by the dog) from the mid 1960s are still alive and well; yet every airfix soldier from the late 60s to early 70s is long gone, crumpled to a pile of dust.
Thank you Peter. My experience is mixed. Some have crumbled and some have not. More scary is some Esci figures have started to go, mostly Zulus and WWII Germans.
Banzi55 yes, I was surprised I would have bet the Giant figures would have gone brittle long before Airfix but I never saw a brittle Giant figure.
